The eighth-graders were charged with conspiracy to manufacture explosives and commit murder and arson...
...game, as it turned out, was a synthesis of Arthurian legend, Tolkien mythology and Marvel comic books. It was devilishly difficult. Besides mastering arcane weapons (no blood, though), he had to memorize different sequences of tones--magic songs that transported the hero. There were puzzles to solve, strategies to plot...
